HDX HTML5 video redirection test page

This page demonstrates the HTML5 video redirection feature released with XenApp/XenDesktop 7.12. This functionality provides similar benefits to the HDX Flash/Windows Media redirection in XenApp/XenDesktop.

The HTML5 video redirection feature works with Receivers that have support for multimedia redirection protocol (RAVE). For further information, visit Citrix Product Documentation.

How to tell if my video is redirected?

While the video is playing, a noticeable “lag” or “jump” in the video window when you move the browser around on the screen or scrolling the browser indicates that the video is being redirected.

Another way to is to look at the CPU consumption on the VDA, before and after you start playing the video. When the video is redirected to the client, there will not be a significant increase in the CPU consumption on the VDA.
